What To Look For In A Miter Saw?
1. Blade Size
The miter blade determines the depth or height of the cut. Miter saws come in 8, 10, or 12-inch blades. There are various types of blades for cutting different styles of material. You can find blades for wood, aluminum, or mild steel. The more teeth in a blade usually equate to a finer cut for finishing.
2. Corded vs Cordless
One of the factors to consider when choosing a miter saw is if you want a coded or cordless miter saw. Yes, today there are cordless miter saws. Miter saws were originally corded with powerful motors providing the power for the delicate and accurate cuts. However, today, there are battery-powered miter saws. The cordless miter saws are smaller, lighter, and ideal for medium-duty projects.
3. Angle & Bevel Range
The range that a miter saw can produce will determine what joints can be made. Many can make the 45-degree angle and they can bevel at a 45-degree angle in one or two or directions.
4. Motor & Speed
The motor provides the power needed to do the work with the miter saw. With a cordless miter saw, it is battery-powered while a corded miter saw is powered by the main electrical source. Miter saws are usually found in the power range of 10, 12 or 15 amps and can feature speeds from 3,00 to 6,000 rpm.
5. Miter Scale
Another important factor to consider when choosing a miter saw is the miter scale. The miter scale is very important as it has the “stops” which are the angles to cut from. There are as many as 10 to 12 stops of which the 45 and 90 degrees are some of the common ones.
6. Cross-Cut Capacity
Cross-cut capacity is limited by the diameter of the saw blade, but sliding models can do crosscuts of 12 inches or even longer.
7. Positive Stops
Positive stops are predetermined setpoints that allow you to make precise cuts at specific angles. You easily find miter saws with as many as 12 positive stops. More positive stops decrease the time needed to set up cuts.
8. Table
The table of the miter saw refers to the base attached to the saw that you cut upon. It is important that you know the size of the board that you are cutting on.
9. Fences
The fence keeps the wood secure during the cut. For safety, it is always important that the material is firmly pressed up against the fence. You can find fences in different heights and opt for taller fences if you will cut tall crown molding.
10. Laser Guide
Miter saws use a laser beam to mark the blade’s path across the material. This is not one of the most important features to consider when choosing a miter saw, but it helps make accurate cuts although it is not foolproof.
11. Dust Extractor
Dust extractors are more useful if you will work indoors like your workplace or in a customer’s place. It not only collects the remnants from the work but also protects anyone who breathes the air. Inhaled particles are dangerous to the lungs over a period of time.
Types of Miter Saws
There are three types of miter saws – compound miter saws, dual compound miter saws, and sliding compound miter saws.
1. Compound Miter Saws
Compound miter saws have blades that pivot left and right for angled cuts and tilt in a single direction for beveled cuts. Compound mite saws are ideal for crown molding, picture frames, or any project that needs angled cuts in two planes.
2. Dual Compound Miter Saws
Dual compound miter saws work similarly to compound miter saws. Dual compound miter saw tilts both left and right as opposed to compound miter saws that tilt only in one direction. Dual compound miter saws can create bevels at any angle.
3. Sliding Compound Miter Saws
Sliding compound miter saws possess both the versatility of the compound miter saw as well as a sliding feature. This allows you to move the blade forward and backward. This sliding feature provides an increased length of cut.
Miter Saw Cuts
There are three types of miter cuts – miter, straight, and bevel cuts.
1. Miter Cut
The miter cut is made when you make a cut through the wood at an angle other than 90 degrees. The miter scale is used to get the angle to make the cut.
2. Straight Cut
A straight cut is one of the easiest cuts to make. A straight cut is parallel with the edges of the board.
3. Bevel Cut
When the blade goes through the wood at a tilt, instead of remaining perpendicular to the wood, it is a bevel cut. Some miter saws have the ability to make bevel cuts.
Miter Saw Safety
Safety should always be of paramount priority when you work with power tools.
1. Before you install or change the blades, always make sure the miter saw is turned off or better disconnected.
2. Always wear eye and hearing protection before you operate the miter saw.
3. Make sure to check the blade brake and verify that it works before you use the saw.
Miter Saw Accessories
1. Miter Saw Mounting Brackets
The miter saw mounting brackets make it easy to attach and detach the miter saw.
2. Miter Saw Stand
The miter saw stand is a heavy-duty piece of equipment that allows you to comfortably and efficiently use the miter saw.
